Ferrari, what more can we say. Let us admit one thing, we would have a poster of either the F40 or the 512 Testarossa, or the Mythos concept car on the walls of our bedroom wall at some point of our lives. Or probably would have a scale model at least. It comes to no surprise, as Ferrari is one of the most powerful brands according to an independent branded business valuation consultancy company, Brand Finance.

In September 1939 Enzo Ferrari left Alfa Romeo under the provision that he would not use the Ferrari name in association with races or racing cars for at least four years. In 1940 Ferrari did in fact produce a race car – the Tipo 815, based on a Fiat platform. It was the first Ferrari car and debuted at the 1940 Mille Miglia, but due to World War II it saw little competition. The first Ferrari-badged car was the 1947 125 S, powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine.

Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it is the most successful racing team, holding the most constructors championships and having produced the highest number of winning drivers. Ferrari road cars like the F355, F360, 512, Testarossa, 512 TR, 550 Maranello, 550 Barchetta, 575 Maranello, 575M Superamerica, 599 GTB, 599 GTO, 612 Scaglietti, F40, F50, F355, F360, F430, 458, 488, FF, California T, LaFerrari and the latest GTC4Lusso are generally seen as a symbol of speed, luxury and wealth.
